If Frozen Mallet is getting nerfed

FantasySniper··16 votes·1,192 views

Could you at least reduce its price to 3000?

Context: 650 ⇒ 700 Health 40 ⇒ 30 AD Recipe: Jaurim's Fist + Pickaxe + Ruby Crystal + 625 ⇒ Longsword + Giant's Belt + 550g

This is practically a revert to pre-5.22 except it has a superior recipe. "So then why bother buffing it compared to what it was before?" That was when is was so niche it was barely usable. 5.22 was a buff it really needed, and now it's just going to go back to being barely usable.

with they'd just nerf gnar and his annoying % max hp three-hit passive that he abuses the crap out of. I don't know if his transformation is actually good for his kit or not at this point, because it actually cuts his easy-too-lane range harassment short by forcing him to transform... or if its bad because it gives him a chunk of health and more CC abilities that he can actually chain spam together for a burst of damage.

he is getting nerfed actually, +4 sec cd on his jump at lvl 1, -5 damage on his ranged W cause this will balance him right?

why aren't they nerfing his %hp passive, his hyper buff, and his Q CD/damage instead? this is where his annoying lane spam bullshit comes from.

cause this is riot, and they don't want to do harsh nerfs before world, that's why this whole PBE things for world is useless, the picks will be the same, jhin gragas ashe rek'sai gnar lissandra shen will remain picked in all games.

What these nerfs will do: Gnar won't be able to play as aggressive in lane anymore because of the damage reduction (which Is just changing him back before the buff) but the 4seconds add on will make more fun to play against.

+4 sec cd on his E is the only good thing, -5 damage every 3 attacks? you can try harder to convince me that this will make gnar losing.

Don't forget Yasuo. Who builds just as often and infinitely worse to deal with.

Yeah, xypherous has stated in the past, they cannot allow it to be a strong item. If it isn't niche, its abusive.

The U r nerfing it because of who ? Gnar and yasuo ???

I don't know why they're nerfing this item. It wasn't in meta for like 3 seasons. It's finally used on maybe like 10 champions now and it's getting a nerf.

Change the flat AD into Base AD?

Don't really think anything needs to happen that makes this item synergize any better with Triforce.

FM needs to be expensive

when its good its too good

when its bad but someone can abuse it its still good and it's application needs to be delayed till ppl can just afford to build whatever they want

FantasySniper3 votes

Only two champions (Gnar and Yasuo) actually use it right now, and that's because they're OP as fuck.

Nerf it, then no one will use it. Nerf the champions, then all will be well.

But they never want to touch Yasuo, so of course they're going to nerf everything he exploits into oblivion while leaving him practically untouched.

I use it Taric top, Sion, Trundle occasionally

The Yasuo and Gnar nerfs are great, yet now there's even less reason for them to nerf Frozen Mallet, smh.

Spoofghoul1 votes

or just remove 20 ad

give it 700 hp and 150% health regen

now its more usefull for fighters and juggernauts since they got good base damage and high enough baseregen to profit from the extra regen it offers

It should be barely useable.
